Plugging away 9-5 (or longer) punching up THe Smartass Guide to U.S. History. 244 pictures and counting have been found, captioned, and cleared for publication (almost all are public domain).

I have to make at least one of the pictures today - one of the "assignments" in the book is to make a diorama based on the song Blood on the Risers, (which is also alluded to at the end of I Put a Spell On You; many historical allusions in my other books are explained in this one). I myself plan to spend a chunk of the day making my very own Blood on the Risers Action Playset to be pictured in the book.
